Jorge Martin intent on joining factory Ducati team: ‘They know what I want’
Jorge Martin haღs made it clear that he wants to join Francesco Bagnaia at the Lenovo Ducati team.
Runner-up to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia last season, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin is hoping to become a MotoGP champion in 2024, and along with it ear🍌n a promotion to the factory Ducati team.
He൩avily linked with a swit🅺ch to the Lenovo Ducati team last season, Martin ultimately missed out as the official team elected to keep Enea Bastianini, who was under contract.
But Marti💖n reiterated his desire to join the factory team in 2025: “I am super happy [at Pramac]. I am maybe not in the best seat possible and for sure I would have signed alreaℱdy for the next two seasons in the factory Ducati team, but it’s not on me.
“They know what I want. That is my first target for the futu❀re but for the moment I feel super good here and it’s a good place to fight.”
If Martin contends for the 2024 title, or better yet goes on to win it, it’s likely the Span🌱iard would earn that seat alongside Bagnaia♚.
The expectation for Martin is very clear, but despite his impressive performances in 20🤪23, Martin does not🐎 want to look to the past.
“Last season was great but it’s already in the past, w🏅e are now in the present,” said Martin. “We have to work hard. Testing was good. I feel a bit better on th🦄e new bike and I’m faster.
“Still, I think we need more laps but I was competitive straight away which is good because in other years we struggled a bi🔥t at the beginning.
“I am focused and ꧂I think I did a great job in the winter. I’m ready for everyt𝓀hing.
One thing that could stop Martin from joining the Lenovo Ducati outfit is the Italian brands star-studded l♛ine-up which includes Marc Marquez, Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Bastianini.
All four of those riders are MotoGP race winners and will want to join the factory teamꦦ.
But Martin is not concerned about the presence of other riders, saying: “I don’✱t want to speak about that.
“I think I am my own opponent꧋ for that seat. 💎I will try to do my best and try to achieve it.”
